While there is a "preferred" version, different users want to use features offered in other versions of winamp (i.e. JTFE, Smart Playlists, certain AVS, etc.) not always available to the "prefered" version. Just another way for RR to stay flexible for the user.

After initial installation, the congif runs and lets the user define those values. Since there is no reason for the .ini to be missing/deleted, no reason to set RR-based "defaults."

Why make it a "canned" operation? More and more PC GPS programs come out as the mobile PC market emerges. Revising RR just to detect these "top 5" to keep up is just not an efficient way of doing things, makes RR more bloated, and more prone to error when newer versions of the same software comes out.
